Sentai Filmworks Licenses AMNESIA

Sentai Filmworks’ is proud to announce their newest acquisition: AMNESIA (アムネシア, Amuneshia, 2013). Based on the PSP game by Otomate (HAKUOKI), this 12 episode series is directed by Yoshimitsu Ohashi (WITCHBLADE, GALAXY ANGEL) and features series composition by Touko Machida (ALLISON & LILLIA, TEARS TO TIARA), character designs by Maho Yoshikawa, sound direction by Satoki Iida (PERSONA 4 THE ANIMATION, ANGEL BEATS!) and music by Yoshiaki Dewa.

This story takes place in a fictional town, in a fictional country, in a fictional world. One morning, a young lady awakens to find that she has lost all her memories prior to that morning. Her life, her relationships, her very name — all gone. All that’s left is a cell phone with numbers and names she doesn’t recognize and Orion, a young boy that only she appears to be able to see.

With Orion’s guidance, she struggles to make sense of herself, a boyfriend she doesn’t know and the thousand and one little things that make up a daily life. But with no memories left, the only alternative is to forge new ones, even if that means leaving old loves behind.

AMNESIA will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release later this year.
